I cut this out from my inlaw's newspaper. I found it to be a great dough to work with and it tastes great. Just remember the dough is easiest to handle if it is refridgerated overnight, so plan ahead.

Tips:

- To make sure your gingerbread people are perfectly shaped, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and will make it easier to cut out the shapes. - If you don't have a gingerbread man cookie cutter, you can use any other shape you like. Just make sure that the shapes are relatively small, so that they don't take too long to bake. - To make the Kahlua icing, simply whisk together the powdered sugar, Kahlua, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. - Be sure to decorate your gingerbread people with your favorite toppings before the icing dries. This could include sprinkles, candy canes, or even edible glitter. - Store your gingerbread people in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Kahlua gingerbread people are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holidays. They're easy to make and can be decorated to your liking. Whether you're making them for a party or just to enjoy yourself, these gingerbread people are sure to be a hit.
